Application led VApril 24,

l-o Zh/)hom it may concern.; Be it known that l, Junon SWAN, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Hamilton, in the Province 'of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Comb, of which the following is a specification.

lhs invention relates to devices especially designed for the treatment of hair, and it is the object of the invention to provide' novel means to facilitate the pressing and straightening of the hair preparatory tothe wa ving treatment.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com` bination and arrangement ol parts and in' the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood thati changes in the precise! embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made Within the scope ot' what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing Figure l illustrates a reai elevational view ot' a device constructed in accordance with.

the present invention. U Fig. 2 illustrates a front elevational view of the same. i r

`Fig. 3. illustrates a side elevational View, and

Fig.' 4 illustratesa sectionalvview taken on line 4--4 ofrFig. 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the

device ini-,hides the opposed members 5 and 6 respectively. each o1 which members includes a handle 7 and jaw section 7, the jaw section of each member extending laterally thereto, and provided with a curved outer edge indicated at 8.

` 'lhese oiiposed members 5 and 6 cross each other and are pivotally connected as'b means ol the pivot pin 9 passing throng suitable registering openings formed in the members 5 and 6, there being a stop l() provided on each section adjacent the pivot point thereof, for contacting with the 'adjacent. section to restrict movement of one section with relation to the other. j.

Thejaw sections 7. are relatively wideY and flat, so that the samcvwill grasp a number of strands of hairwhen the'same are put to use. Disposed. between-the jaw sections 7 isa central jaw section 1l. which is also rela-tively'wide and flat so that the sur faces thereof will closely engage the jaw sec- Specification ofLetters Patent.

'tions 7, and as shown this 'aw section 11 is, provided with a base 12 wich has a portion thereof overlying one of the opposed sections where the same has pivotal connection with the'opposed sections through the pivot pin 9.

A coiled spring 13 has one end thereof ex tending into a suitable opening provided in the base 12, on the respective si(v es thereof, the opposite ends of the springs 13 being right angled and extending into suitable openings formed in the handle portions of the respective sections 5 and'6. i

In view of the foregoing it will lbe seen that the central jaw section 11 is normally maintained in spacedrela-tion with the jaw sections 7, by means of the coiled springs 13, the coiled springs 13 at the same time acting' to hold the jaw lation with, each other. ln the operation of the device, the same is positioned over a heating medium, and to this cnda thermometer 14, is positioned on i the base 12 by .means of which a predetermined temperature of the jaws 7 and 1l may be had for the efficient operation of the de sections in spaced re-I When the jav'tshaie becomeheated to the the hair, the handles thereof manipulated to cause the jaws 7 and 11 to grasp strands of hair, whereupon the device is moved .fthrough the. hair with the reslilt that the hair is pressed andstraightened, and freed oi' all irregularities.-

llaving thus described the invention, what l claim as new isz+ l. ln a device of thc character described, opposed sections pivotallv connected together, each of Said sections including a handle, and a jaw, a central jaw pivotally connected to one of the opposed sections, resilient means connecting the handles and central jaw for normally holding the''aw 100 sections in spaced relation with each ot er.

2. ln a device of the character described, opposed ysections pivotally connected to gcthcr, each of said. Sections comprising' a handle and Ajaw section, each of the jaw sections including. a` blade having a curved o utcr surface, a central jaw scr-tion disposed between the first mentioned jaw section. and
